Polly pulled Charlie for a chat and told her that she was a “bully” for some of her behaviour towards wife Eve.
Many fans hit out at Polly for interfering and for backing the wrong person.
Now Polly has addressed the criticism she has received since the episode aired and said she was “blindsided by Eve.
In a statement, she wrote: “Hey guys – Just a message about tonight’s episode…Please remember to keep an open mind with things on TV.
“We saw a lot of Eve most days and nights as she was always with one of us, and Charlie hardly ever while we were in the apartments.
“Naturally being closer with one party you do believe what someone’s saying to you about their partner if they’re nowhere to be seen and you haven’t spoke to them about anything:
“It’s really upsetting to see how blindsided we all were with this situation but please know I (and the other girls) did apologise profusely to Charlie and we are all good and speak daily.”
She later told trolls to back off and admitted she was doing what she thought was right in the moment.
Polly shared: “Everyone else coming at me for sticking my nose in is actually hilarious and insane to me, because if you’re telling me you’ve never got involved in your friends relationship and put your advice in sometimes when it’s not needed.
“I took accountability for what I said to Charlie and apologised which is probably more than anyone’s ever done when they’ve done something they shouldn’t have.”
Last night, Polly aired her concerns calling Eve and Charlie’s marriage was “toxic”.
During a conversation with fellow co-star Holly, Polly said: “Eve and Charlie, I don’t have high hopes for them at all. It’s giving toxic.”
Holly replied: “It actually upsets me because Eve has such a big heart and she genuinely just wants to be loved off someone.”
Polly went on: “Some of the stuff Eve said about Charlie was awful.
“They’re not seeing each other enough because Charlie’s mean – now I can understand what Eve was saying on the sofa, when she said ‘don’t be mean to me’.
“She is f****** mean, if anything she is bit of a bully.”
The experts were gobsmacked by her remark, with Paul C Brunson saying: “Strong word.”
While Charlene Douglas said: “That’s such a strong statement when actually Polly doesn’t know both sides of the story.”
Polly then demanded to know from Eve why she walked into the dinner party with wife Charlie.
Expert Mel Schilling shared: “That’s really confronting isn’t it. What’s it got to do with you Polly? At this point she’s really inserting herself into someone else’s relationship.”
Polly then pulled Charlie for a chat and told her that she was a “bully” – leaving Charlie mortified.
Fans have slammed Holly and Polly for getting involved.
One wrote: “Polly has got a f****** nerve coming for Charlie when her husband doesn’t even find her attractive and she’s draping herself over him at every opportunity.”
A second posted: “Hopefully H-Polly feel like absolute idiots tonight re-watching this! If I was Charlie I wouldn’t talk to them ever again.”
A third said: “Eve is giving something, and I can’t put my finger on the word, but it’s nothing good. She’s actually demonised Charlie to everyone. And all this yelling that Eve keeps talking about…when and where?”
“Polly your man isn’t into you yet you’re focusing on Eve & Charlie,” a fourth said.
This viewer said: “Polly & Holly.. You’re giving mean girl energy. They’ve ganged up on Charlie.”
Charlie was left in floods of tears after Eve confessed to her that she felt she had been “mentally” abused.
After some time away, Charlie returned to the table and Polly offered her an apology.
